Autumn Vines Beret in Fresco

This beautiful version of my Autumn Vines beret pattern came in the mail to me just the other day. This is a test knit done for me by the talented Lily France and she did an amazing job as always!

The yarn she used was Classic Elite Fresco which is a soft, slightly fuzzy, beautiful alternative to the crisp smooth yarns that I used in the other samples. I thought I would share this hat with you to give you an idea of how the yarn can completely change the look of the pattern.

I am knitting the leaves on the Cedarleaf Shawlette right now. This is the first pattern of yours that I have purchased. I just love it. You give the best instructions. I taught myself to cable recently and I am feeling that I might need to by the Beret pattern and work on using some of those cable skills soon. I love the green.

Listened to your podcast for the first time every on a VERY long trip back home. It was 11:30 on Christmas night and everyone in the car was asleep except me of course LOL You kept me company. I am now a huge fan of your podcast and can't wait to hear more from you !!!
